An Astra Militarum Audiobook

On a planet trapped in the closing jaws of the Great Devourer, Major Wulf Khan of the Catachan 903rd receives a final, desperate mission – one which will take her soldiers into the maw of the tyranid threat.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

It’s a chance to see the Catachan Jungle Fighters in action on a planet almost as deadly as their homeworld. Dive into their gripping battle for survival as they face a voracious force of invading tyranids.

THE STORY

Lazulai is a world beyond the brink, its battle against the tyranids all but lost. Once-magnificent cities lie in ruin. The seas boil. The skies crack. Horrific alien bioforms devour. In mere days the planet will be consumed.

The 903rd Catachan ‘Night Shrikes’ defend one of the last fortresses still standing. Led by Major Wulf Khan, to die fighting is all that is expected of them… until she is given one last mission: to lead a squad through the apocalypse and recover a piece of archeotech that may doom or deliver the entire Lazulai System.

Facing impossible odds and zero hope for aid, the major must hold her squad together as they pick their way through an endless xenos jungle. The enemy is merciless, relentless, endlessly adaptable and formidably resourceful... but so too is Khan.

Fun times on the death world.

Good voice acting, solid story, favorite part was when the big beefy lady ripped a 'nid in half.

Victory Against Tyranids?

A story where a team of Catachans must work with a Cadian, a Martian Magos and a Genestealer Cult Member in order to save (?) the dying world they are on. They must March for days to reach their goal, through a world in the final stages of a Tyranid Invasion. Can they do it? Will they save the world? Will we hear Catachan Poetry?

Badass women

Now I know what people are going to moan about “90% of the cast are women! However, if you changed the word ‘she’ to ‘he’ you would not tell the difference.
Well rounded characters, compelling storyline and the narrator knocks it well out of the park!
Worth a read if you don’t have a problem with strong when characters.

A Refreshing Must Read

Victoria Hayward masterfully delivers an action packed, compelling plot, driven by some outstanding characters. Not only are the Catachans given some much needed spotlight (and depth), but the reader is also treated to the delightful nightmares following a Tyranid invasion. It's Jumanji meets Aliens, with exceptionally well written characters. It's enjoyable for any reader, but especially fun if you like Tyranids, Genestealers or the Guard 😈

Catachan’s being Rambos

Fun story with solid juxtaposition between Catachans and Cadians without making either group look bad while they fight the tyranids

An entertaining tour of lage stage Tyranid

a really entertaining book, with likeable action hero characters who suffer greatly for our amusement during a wild tour of late stage Tyranid infestation. would buy, would recommend. 4 little Marbos

Loved it!

very easy for immerse yourself into this book. I tend to lean towards Astartes novels, this being my first novel about normal soldiers. I define recommend this audio book.

good info

A really good book with a lot of information on how the Tyranid swarm works.

Great story and fantastic narration of it

The author wrote an amazing and compelling narrative with extremely realistic character interactions and reaction to what one could one see as the horrors of war. I can not recommend this book enough. the characters were rich and well flushed out with little to no exposition. As a big fan of the Alien series these troopers couldn't have made me feel better listening to their story like the first time I saw the movie Aliens.

Good Guard Book

Very good book detailing the Catachans. Excellent storytelling, characters were memorable and well fleshed out
